Just because I imagine you as a weird person, I imagined you were a muslim extremist... Told you I should've not said it...I'm agnostic, but I suppose I would categorize myself as agnostic atheist in the sense that while I pretty much reject the idea of the christian God, I don't neccessarily refute the idea of a higher power but feel that that higher power is entirely unknowable and most likely irrevlevant so caring about it beyond some kind mutual interest would probably be a waste of time. Oh and FYI I despise organized religion, and turn most of my anti- religious criticism towards that, in regrds to theism though it's all probably a bit difficult to explain.

Agnostic Atheist, but sometimes I lean towards full atheism.

And hello to you sir.
This poll is great:D. There's almost a perfectly even amount of Christians and Athiests on this website. I'm surprised things are so peaceful, however I haven't read through all 9 of these pages :shock: so I'm sure it's been a funfilled debate. I picked Christian though I can't tell you what my branch would be. I've more just been doing individual reading, meditating, ect.
I would give you +1 internets if you remake that picture of Darth Vader and substitute your post in its place :lol:[QUOTE="cowplayinghalo"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]I find the lack of Norse paganism in your poll disturbing...chessmaster1989
There you go. :P
+2 internets, because you actually went through with it. That is ****** awesome :lol:[QUOTE="Tigerman950"]
[QUOTE="Scoob64"]
I'm interested in that religion, do you go to a religious service? I'm not familiar with any mosques around here..

Sort of, we meet at the local mosque every Friday for group prayer called Jumaah (I only go when I have no school) and a lot of cities with abudant Muslims have Sunday school classes in these mosques (which I quit a while back). Also, every Eid we get together at a special meeting place for prayer and discussion.
ahh- ... I used to go to church a lot, but so many of the people just went out of habit and it didn't seem to mean anything to them... I would like to find a personal faith, and Islam seems to be one that has many commited followers. I have never spoken with a Muslim about their faith b/c they seem to be fairly rare where I live (western North Carolina)
you can try to visit mosque near you. www.islam-guide.com[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"][QUOTE="lloveLamp"]im a full blown jew, not just jew-ishsupergamer514wth does that mean? :| I have the same question...' grape, I'm guessing you're a jew.

I'm an agnostic atheist. I really don't understand it when somebody says I believe in religion X, but I don't believe in Y and Z even though Y and Z is a part of religion X. Why don't you believe in Y and Z? Or why even believe in religion X if you don't believe in Y and Z?
[QUOTE="supergamer514"]I don't know what I am. I believe in God and Christ but I don't believe in images, prays, bible and all that stuff. Can someone say what I am?Mine's Christianity. I don't go to church and stuff, but I have the Christian beliefs.

A very general term I would give would simply be "theist". You're only defined by what you believe (in MOST cases), so the fact that you don't believe in images, prayer, and the bible doesn't really matter.
I make my own religion. Only one rule, God is Omnipotent. With that core concept, it expend to cover everything else.magicalclick
You do realize that omnipotence is self-contradictory, right?
Chrstian/Agnostic. I have a few of my own beliefs in the mix...in which creation and evolution play vital rolls in.killab2oo5
I actually find that pretty cool. Very few people realize that it's possible to be an agnostic theist. I'd say it's certainly more humble.
I don't know what I am. I believe in God and Christ but I don't believe in images, prays, bible and all that stuff. Can someone say what I am?Miroku32You don't have to believe in images to be a Christian. Protestantism has a very small role, if any, for images. To be honest, I'm not even sure what you mean by "I don't believe in images."
As far as what you'd be labeled, I'm not sure sense I'd need to know what you believe more specifically. You say you believe in Jesus but does that mean you accept the Trinity? If so, then you are some strange mix of Christian and deism (God exists but is not personal nor does he bother with his creation).

I'm not really sure how you arive at this conclusion.[QUOTE="Miroku32"] You don't have to believe in images to be a Christian. Protestantism has a very small role, if any, for images. To be honest, I'm not even sure what you mean by "I don't believe in images."

I'm not really sure how you arive at this conclusion.Well, I always hate to use this example, but since it's simple I will. Could God create an indestructible wall and at the same time create a hammer capable of destroying anything? No, those two things contradict each other logically. A crude way of explaining it, I know, but I can't think of another example at this time.
Here in Western society, religion is ruled by monotheism, so Buddhism and Hinduism aren't as prevalent, so they don't need to be in the poll.. If the poll were global, I'd agree (though you're obviously quite easily offended), but since GS is based out of Europe and North America, of course it's going to be Eurocentric.I find it a bit presumptuous and Euro-centric that you did not include either Hinduism orBuddhism, considering there are 500 MILLION Hindus and 350 MILLION Buddhists. You poll is fundamentally flawed and quite offensive.

I'm Baptist ( not southern).
I naturally like the beliefs.
Soul freedom: the soul is competent before God, and capable of making decisions in matters of faith without coercion or compulsion by any larger religious or civil body Church freedom: freedom of the local church from outside interference, whether government or civilian (subject only to the law where it does not interfere with the religious teachings and practices of the church) Bible freedom: the individual is free to interpret the Bible for himself or herself, using the best tools of scholarship and biblical study available to the individual Religious freedom: the individual is free to choose whether to practice their religion, another religion, or no religion;Separation of church and stateis often called the "civil corollary" of religious freedom

While I'm sure there are GS users that maintain those religions, I sincerely doubt that a significant portion of the community does. It doesn't seem reasonable to get offended at the OP's poll choices.
